history

Postage stamp of the GDR, 1965

Putten was first mentioned in a deed of donation from the Werden monastery from 855. For a long time it was a simple farming village. Nijkerk and Voorthuizen also belonged to the parish of Putten until 1416 . Putti was destroyed several times in the wars of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. When the village was connected to the railway in 1863, tourism emerged, a development that continued until after the Second World War. In the 20th century, commuters also settled in the village who had a job in the surrounding towns.

In October 1944 the Putten case occurred here , a war crime committed by the Wehrmacht , in which 661 people were abducted to concentration camps and the village was then burned down. 552 people were killed. The occasion was an attack by a resistance group on a car with German officers. A memorial was erected in 1947 to commemorate the victims and was ceremoniously unveiled by Queen Juliana in 1949 .
